I would, but all the videos are on tape and in Switzerland… My dad has to transfer them to the computer first and then send it to me. One of these days… haha ☺

[...] I leave, I want to send a shout-out to Christina over at Health-Foodie. She is doing a series on recreating healthy versions of fast food at home. Obviously, this includes french fries, which [...]

Thank you Lauren!

No worries, we are all human. I do have a dishwasher and even then am I too lazy sometimes to “do the dishes”. Food preparation and all the things related to it can take up a big chunk of our time. Unless you find a way to enjoy the process the only thing we can do is to find compromises. Luckily there are things you can make that don’t require a lot of clean up etc. But unless we know exactly how to prepare those dishes without thinking (habit) it is not helpful in those moments when we are weak. I think roasting is great for example, since you don’t need any pans. Theoretically you could just dump the food on a paper towel and eat off that! haha ☺

Pizza is fun to make! I have a video of me as a young child helping to make pizza. It was one of those rare foods that I could help with. But of course, I did not just want to make boring pizza…I took my dough and created cupcakes, turtles, breads etc. Of course, it was just some dough I deformed…. my imagination was pretty good. I also always turned to the camera and explained in detail how to recreate them…maybe I am destined to have a cooking show after all! haha

Great post as always Christina.
I personally am ashamed to say that my buying ‘fast food’ is always down to laziness. It is definitely not cheaper, tastier or better in any way than home made except for the fact that I don’t have to do any dishes! One day I will have a dishwasher and then we’ll see if that excuse still holds up!
This looks really yummy and once again, looks like a great meal for the littlies (as long as they haven’t any allergies).
My fav. home made ‘fast foods’ are pizza or burgers, both of these are so fun to make and never the same twice.

Thanks for the inspiration!

I know what you mean with the salt. I have always loved salt too. While I don’t eat processed foods I do salt my food enough. ;) I KNOW that if I stopped I would adapt, but I just hate to eat food that does not have enough salt. But I still think that I am under the daily limit for total sodium. I should find out I guess. :)

High blood pressure is definitely in my family, so I do have to be careful. I do not have problems with it…yet. I am very young and healthy though. But I noticed that as soon as I get excited about something my heart speeds up and my blood pressure increases for a couple of days.

I tried one of the salt substitutes once…that must be the single most disgusting thing I have ever had in my mouth. Ever tried that?
